Three-dimensional terahertz computed tomography of human bones.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three-dimensional terahertz computed tomography has been used to investigate dried human bones such as a lumbar vertebra, a coxal bone, and a skull, with a direct comparison with standard radiography. In spite of lower spatial resolution compared with x-ray, terahertz imaging clearly discerns a compact bone from a spongy one, with strong terahertz absorption as shown by additional terahertz time-domain transmission spectroscopy.

Three-dimensional reconstruction of New Zealand rabbit antebrachium by multidetector computed tomography
The aim of this study was to reveal biometric peculiarities of New Zealand white rabbit antebrachium (radius and ulna) by means of three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) images. Under general anesthesia, the antebrachiums of a total of sixteen rabbits of both sexes were scanned with a general diagnostic MDCT. Biometric measurements of the reconstructed...

We demonstrated fast three-dimensional transmission terahertz computed tomography by using real-time line projection of intense terahertz beam generated by optical rectification in lithium niobate crystal. After emphasizing the advantage of intense terahertz pulse generation for two-dimensional spatio-temporal terahertz imaging, peak-to-peak amplitudes of pulsed terahertz electric field have be...

Abstmd--We present three terahertz wave (T-ray) tomographic imaging modalities: T-ray computed tomography (T-ray CT), T-ray dinractive tomography (T-ray DT), and tomographic imaging with a Fresnel binaly lens. T-ray CT provides 3-dimensional (3D) images and reveals information about the target for functional imaging. T-ray DT achieves suhmm spatial resolution, and a Binary lens leads a novel im...
